Shop Vac

We took the freeway out of town
 We found a place to settle down
 We bought a driveway, and a swing set and a dog
 You got your very own bathroom
 I got my very own workshop in the basement
 We'll sit around staring at the wall-to-wall
 Take field trips to our favorite mall
 Waiting for the day when all
 The kids grow up and leave us here
 If you need me, I'll be downstairs with the shop vac
 You can call, but I probably won't hear you
 Because it's loud with the shop vac on
 (For Heaven's sake, it's really loud with the shop vac on)
 You'll be okay 'cause you'll be upstairs with the TV
 You can cry, and I probably won't hear you
 Because it's loud with the shop vac on
 We hung a flag above the door
 Checked out the gourmet grocery store
 I bought a mower I can ride around the yard
 But we haven't got real friends
 And now even the fake ones have stopped calling
 Maybe if you forget to hide the keys
 I'll take a ride to Applebee's
 Come home drunk on daiquiris
 And throw up on the neighbor's lawn
 If you need me, I'll be downstairs with the shop vac
 You can call, but I probably won't hear you
 Because it's loud with the shop vac on
 (For Heaven's sake, it's really loud with the shop vac on)
 You'll be okay 'cause you'll be upstairs with the TV
 You can cry, and I probably won't hear you
 Because it's loud with the shop vac on
 I like the Starbucks here, that's better than the other one
 Because the other one's not as good
 They really need to put a light there 'cause it's hard to turn
 It's hard to make a left turn
 ♪
 And when it's time to go to bed
 I'm still awake inside my head
 Floating up above the house and looking down
 I guess I gotta go back there
 I guess there never was any other answer
 And as the freeway hums, the cars go by
 The headlights roll across the sky
 Many miles away and I can see them
 Speeding through the dark
 If you need me, I'll be downstairs with the shop vac
 You can call, but I probably won't hear you
 Because it's loud with the shop vac on
 (For Heaven's sake, it's really loud with the shop vac on)
 You'll be okay 'cause you'll be upstairs with the TV
 You can cry, and I probably won't hear you
 Because it's loud with the shop vac on
